New Brunswick has made many details of its plan for legal recreational marijuana public more quickly than other provinces.

In mid-September, the province announced that it had signed supply contracts with Organigram Holdings in Moncton and Canopy Growth of Smiths Falls, Ont. The contracts lock down nine million grams for New Brunswick for the first year of legal sales.

NB Liquor’s request for proposals calls for retail stores to be “substantially complete” by May 31 of next year, a month before legalization takes effect on July 1. NB Liquor’s list of communities selected for retail locations is much more than any other province has made public, though Ontario has said it hopes to have 80 stores open by July of 2019.
